The increase la the size of the guas,
the armor and engines of oar battle
hlpa has necessitated aa Increase in
the cost of building' these ships. The
chief naval constructor In his testl
mony before the House Naval Commit
tee says the predicted cost of $15,000
000 for our battleships has been
reached. The appropriation made by
Congress last year amounted to about
$12,500,000 a ship, which was $4,500,
000 more than the appropriation sev
eral years before. And they say the
amount Is to grow larger.
SPENDING TO SATE.
The Mayor and the City Council
should be commended on the lowering
of the. insurance rates in Columbia.
Formerly the city levied a $5 tax on
all companies that operated here.
These companies In turn increased
their rates and threw the whole bur
den on the property-6 wners of the
town. Not only did they get in return
what the license cost but they doubled
that amount and, in many cases, re
ceived ten times what they paid out
.Since the act has been repealed,
the rates will have to be lowered.
The city spent a few hundred dollars
In taxes to save the people of Colum
bia thousands of dollars.
THE USE OF TITLES
' .V ,
A GROWING 8ERYICE.
Greater grows the service of the
University to the state. Closer It gets
to the people. Professional courses
are carrying its benefits directly to
the tax-payers.
The establishment of a short course
for nurses Is in harmony with the
plan to get nearer to the people. The
short course in agriculture, automo
bile engineering, road-making and the
extension courses are taking the Unl
versity directly to the people. It Is
truly becoming the people's univer
sity.
The spirit of the times demands.
Immediate results. The old curricu
lum satisfies no longer. Professional
training is the order of the day. The
extension of the University to the
people will do much toward bringing
their confidence and good-will to the
University. The state Is its student
body.
The question of what title to give
a person, aad what form tbat title
should take, Is often perplexing.
Leigh H. Irvine, a graduate of the
University of Missouri, class of 1862,
Is the author of a "Dictionary of
Titles," last Issued, that clears up
many knotty points of usage. The
book tells how to address the Presi
dent of the United States, clergymen,
the Chief Justice, college professors,
Judges of all kinds, foreign ministers
anybody, in fact, who is entitled to
put a "handle" on his name. Busi
ness forms and social usage arc dis
cussed. For example, one should
never use the salutation "Dear Miss."
The family name (surname) should
be given, aa "Dear Miss Jones."
"Dear Madam" or "My Dear Madam"
may be used in addressing both mar
ried and unmarried women.
Concerning the title "Professor'
the author says: "This is a much
misunderstood and abused title. It
Is assumed by the master of black
art who brings silk ribbons and live
rabbits from the high silk hat bor
rowed from the village doctor, by
the street vender of 'paln-kllllas
oHa, by hone-trainers, chiropodists,
and all who pretends to be 'artists
in their line'... But 'Professor' does
sometimes come by right and by
courtesy. One properly elected to a
chair of professorship is a profes
sor.... The election should be held by
persons of authority In an educa
tional institution that "possesses a full
equipment of departments, facilities.
etc.,.. The title, in addition to he.lsg.
Ntguarly and properly bestowed as
indicated in the foregoing, is some-
)timesjjgivcn,by cdjufeay-to men who
fiova Iumitia tttaA mii 'ow Una "a

scientific research or educational
work. Finally, it may be said that
of all titles, 'Professor' should be
used the most sparingly. One ap
plying it should be sure that it will
not offend the person to whom it Is
applied, for if he be not a professor
in fact the title makes him appear
to be a pretender."
Mr. Irvine's book, containing 144
pages, is published by the Crown
Publishing Company, San Francisco.

the professors sit on a high plat
form with, a big desk in front of them
like a pulpit One of the teachers was
not -very well liked, so the boys got a

The Instructor mounted the platform

Everyone was attentive, waiting to

The theory of sufrage as an o$ce
and sot a right was advanced by
Pref. .Wi j: Ssepsrd of iitetSelklcal
science department of the.Unlveralty
at a meeting of the Social Science
Club Friday sight. He denounced the
Idea of "a right to 'vote" as s prin
ciple evolved daring the middle ages
and based os s cosfaste ef the
electorate and the people. He ex
plained that sufrage is a function of
government and should be regarded
aa a public trust The question who
shall vote should be determined by
educational and moral tests and not
confused with cltfzeaahip.
"The right of citizenship and the
qualifications for voting should ba
separated," Professor Shepard reason
ed. "The theory that the two are in
separable traces back to the barbar
ian hordes from which our westers
civilization baa developed."
The belief in the right to vote, he ex
plained, rests on the theory of the
state as a social compact aad the
theory of popular sovereignty. Sover
eignty is a' legal concept , The con
cept of the people la sociological. The
doctrine of popular sovereignty con
fuses the sociological aad legal con
cepts. On this error the right to vote
ia imputed to all people.
"In advocating the rights of the
people," Professor Shepard said, "as
In the initiative aad referendum sad
the recall of Judges, the electorate
and the people are confused. These
are advocated aa the rights of the
people whereas the sufrage ia ex
tended to only a small part of the
people and the majority rule greatly
reduces the number who actually de
cide the issue.
"The doctrine of abstract right to
vote la now obsolete among political
scientists. There are no natural gov
ernmental rights. What rights we
have come from the state' and are not
antecedent to the state.
"This doctrine of natural rights la
the leading argument advanced in the
cause of woman suffrage. It la an
error.
"That suffrage ia an office, a func
tion of government is the accepted
theory of political scientists. Maay
statesmen also hold this view. On
